    What Are The Best New MMOs in 2010?

    2010 is drawing to a close. Let's check out what good new MMOs in 2010?

    Final Fantasy XIV
    Final Fantasy XIV, also known as Final Fantasy XIV Online, is the fourteenth installment in the Final Fantasy series, released in September 2010. More than just a sequel to Final Fantasy XI, this is a whole new game with a very different approach to online gaming. Playing on your own is now just as rewarding as battling in groups and your character's progression and growth is achieved by using and refining your existing skills, rather than just earning general experience points. Likewise you can change jobs simply by taking up a different weapon or item, from sword to blacksmith's hammer, although specialising in the game's four disciplines (war, magic, land and hand) will always give you an advantage. The end result is a more accessible and varied experience than any other online game and the most exciting Final Fantasy yet.

    Battle of the Immortals
    Battle of the Immortals is an action MMORPG that blends Norse mythology with a Qin Dynasty era Chinese game world. The game has many staple features such as pets, mounts, PvP combat, and an auto-navigate system but also has plenty of new innovations. Among these is the Soul Gear system in which equipment gains experience and grows with use. Additionally, the Zodiac System grants characters special powers at certain times depending on their character’s selected birthday.

    Dynasty Warriors Online
    Dynasty Warriors Online is the MMORPG version of the famous hack-and-slash console series. Like many Asian MMORPGs, DWO is set in the Three Kingdoms period, but this time players can jump straight into the action. Dynasty Warriors Online has fast-paced combat where players will be striking down hordes of enemies with every swing. Each weapon type has different stats, such as reach, power, and speed. Players must decide which weapons to use and upgrade. There is a ton of PvE and PvP content in the game, but like the console versions, battles themselves are instanced. Up to twenty-four users can take part in a battle, and each team must work together to capture bases and kill as many enemies as possible.
    Dynasty Warriors Online is a 3D fantasy MMORPG set in medieval China. Players can take part in massive battles that contain both fast-paced, live-action, tactical gameplay. Battle for control of China during the Three Kingdoms period! Take part in epic, large-scale, instanced battles in DWO!

    Iris Online
    Iris is a MMORPG blending medieval fantasy element and Gypsy ethnic group style. It offers dungeon and PVP gameplay In Iris, there are three races available for selection, Human, Orc and Elf. Another selling point of Iris is Tarot Card originated from the Middle Age Italy. There are totally 78 cards. 22 are Major Arcana and 56 are Minor Arcana. Using these cards, players can enhance skills, transform into monsters, etc. They can even attach Tarot cards on their weapons to gain special abilities.

    Keep our eyes on the result of players' votes(Undergoing now): http://contest.mmosite.com/gameprize...=gamelist&id=6

      It's been such a ****ty year for MMO's IMO that I've started playing Runscape again. I usually just watch TV shows on half of my screen and hardly pay attention to RS on the other. WoW's dead to me, I want Guild Wars 2.

        Iris is rubbish, Battle of the Immortals is rubbish, and I don't have the heart to try FFXIV after all the horrible things I have heard about it (not to mention all the poor reviews).

        Nothing good came out this year, I assure you.
        Why would you put that in your signature? You've lost your signature rights for a month. (You'll get them back on March 10th, 2012.)

          Am I the only one that doesn't see the appeal of MMO's?

          They're grindy, boring, and so time-consuming. Where's the fun?

            There are a lot of reasons people get into MMOs and a huge amount of it is psychological. I don't want to even start to try explaining it.

            Case in point: you like them or you don't

              Basically, starting in 2009 the MMORPG market just crashed and burned epicly.

              Maybe that's the reason why I'm just waiting for Blade and Soul that'll come out in 2012.. yes, 2012.

                I strongly suspect that Guild Wars 2 will breathe new life into the genre.

                I mean, have you read the dev articles on their site? It's game design at it's best.

                  GW2 has the potential to be very good imo. It's a risky move though for more reasons than one

                  On the other hand, Cataclysm comes out pretty soon
                  It'll be interesting to see some of the level redesigns for earlier places

                      Mortal Online is stating to pick up the pace again. The dev team is learning, and the game is slowly looking better and better.

                        idc how AwEsOmE the demos are, idc how DeEp the dev articles are

                        until the final product comes out and professional critics **** their pants until their pants rupture, i don't buy into game hype for the most part

                          OneHandNow, I think you're mistaken Blade & soul will be released in 2011, early months of 2011. I don't know where you heard it's being released at 2012.

                          And there is no good MMO's this year. Vindictus got boring to me more than any other game had bored me. I'd rather go play Runescape like I did when I had a crappy PC, Iris is just a copy of another game which is anime-ish, period.

                          I'm the same, waiting for Blade & Soul. Even if I have to pay monthly, I hate people who whine. " Why do we have to pay for something like a game? " Why do you pay for something like smokes. It kills, gaming entertains you. That's all I have to say.

                            The earliest date it will be released even in South Korea is Q4 of 2011. That means CBT, Pre-OBT and all of that stuff will be taken care of in Q3-Q4 of 2011 and then it will be released to the public in early 2012. Hell, if they decide to add more features / develop it a bit more (which I'm sure that's what's going on right now), it'll be released mid-2012.. and that's just SK. Localization to NA.. maybe late 2012?

                              Depends on who publishes it for NA. Most publishers are hella slow.

                              I wouldn't expect it in NA for at least another 3 quarters after the KR version comes out. So, like OHN says, Q2 2012, most likely later
